A lot of discussion is happening now about current members of the Democratic party who should be the Minority Leaders.
All but a handful have been vocally supporting what is happening outside our borders. Congo, Sudan, Palestine, et. al. are all related.
Something to keep in mind:

Very timely, honest & uncomfortable paper.
Interesting schematic showing various discourses of delay, from a new paper "Countering the Climate Change Counter Movement: Six lessons from Canada's climate delays" by Samuel Lloyd and Ekaterina Rhodes (link in next bleet).

The end of the year can feel lonely for some people.
This holiday season, take a small step to connect:
✨Reach out if you can
✨Check in on someone you care about
✨Put your phone away and enjoy a meaningful conversation
✨Organise a small gathering
You are never alone.

Theoretically, everyone deserves the right to do what they want to their own bodies.
But in practice, these laws lead to further devaluation of disabled lives. They invariably lead to people choosing MAID because they can't afford healthcare, cajoled into this cheaper choice by an uncaring system.

As the cost of living in urban areas becomes so out of reach for many WA families, ppl are pushed into fire zones & flood plains; then they are more at harm due to impacts of climate change. These are equity and environmental justice issues; need compassionate solutions for vulnerable communities.
